HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Likes & Dislikes
Orchestrator is the biggest win. It brings together visibility, policy control, and monitoring in a way that feels unified rather than bolted together. Instead of juggling multiple tools or manually tuning site-by-site configs, everything flows from one place to another. That single-pane approach is what makes the platform feel powerful rather than overwhelming.
WAN acceleration function
We like the BIO for defining policies for applications, the WAN optimization boost to increase performance, we also like the integrated security of the built in NGFW.
As mentioned above, the basics are intuitive, but the deeper features like complex business intent overlays, advanced routing interactions and granular QoS tuning do require some significant time and hands on experience to master. The orchestrator UI is generally strong, but it can become sluggish when managing a larger number of sites, pulling long-range historical data and generating detailed reports. The built in reporting is helpful but limited, users want more flexible dashboards, deeper drill down options and easier export and integrations with 3 party monitoring tools.
orchestrator UI
When troubleshooting there are often too many different tabs to sort through that are not intuitive. We have encountered a few bugs with the appliances as well but these were resolved with firmware updates.

HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN Reviews and Ratings
- PLATFORM ENGINEER<50M USDHealthcare and BiotechReview Source
Centralized Orchestration and Traffic Steering Enhance Network Stability and Performance
Overall experience with Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN has been excellent, and the platform deserves my 5-star rating. The combination of rock-solid stability, intelligent traffic steering, and simple centralised orchestration has significantly improved the way we manage and optimise the network. What worked well was that once deployed, the solution has been consistently stable across all sites. The centralized management interface makes policy creation, monitoring and troubleshooting far more intuitive than traditional WAN tools. Real-time traffic steering has noticeably improved application performance, especially for cloud services. Templates and zero touch provisioning have reduced the rollout time and minimised configuration. What didn't work as well was the learning of the orchestrator. The basics are straightforward, but some of the deeper configuration options require time and training to fully master. The built in analytics are useful, but more customisable dashboards would make it a lot better. - NETWORK ENGINEER50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source

Aruba SD-WAN: Centralized Management and Outstanding Technical Support
Aruba significantly enhanced our network performance and reliability. the smooth migration from the i-WAN and seamless integration with our existing infrastructure, coupled with intelligent traffic optimization, has been a major advantage. Over the past few years, we've observed substantial improvements in the platform, particularly in centralized management and cloud-based services. Additionally the quality of the technical support and troubleshooting has been outstanding - NETWORK SERVICES DIRECTOR10B+ USDRetailReview Source

Simplifying Networking with Edge Connect: A Hands-on Experience
Overall, the experience of evaluating, purchasing, and using Edge Connect was made very simple by our account team. The engagement from our SE truly helped make this product shine and fast tracked our progress throughout the POC. We quickly had our hub devices configured along with spokes in our lab and were able to start seeing the value Edge Connect could bring to our organization. After purchasing through our trusted partner, WorldCom Exchange Inc., the mass configuration and deployment of Edge Connect throughout our 90 retail locations could not have been smoother. This clearly took some technical capabilities from all parties, but Aruba Orchestrator and its ease of use lent itself well to our process.
